The complete mitochondrial genome of Tyto longimembris has been determined in this study. It is 18,466 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of the heavy strand of the T. longimembris mitochondrial genome is A: 30.1%, T: 23.5%, C: 31.8% and G: 14.6%. The structure of control region should be characterized by a region containing tandem repeats as two definitely separated clusters of tandem repeats were found. This study provided an important data set for phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses of Tyto species.
本研究测定了长耳仓鸮的完整线粒体基因组。其长度为18,466 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA（tRNA）基因、2个核糖体RNA（rRNA）基因和一个非编码控制区（D-loop）组成。长耳仓鸮线粒体基因组重链的总体碱基组成为：A占30.1%、T占23.5%、C占31.8%、G占14.6%。控制区的结构特征是含有串联重复序列的区域，因为发现了两个明确分开的串联重复序列簇。本研究为仓鸮属物种的系统发育和分类分析提供了重要的数据集。
